How fast

[imnotoriousjoe]

How fast does A stock rtr stampede go please tell me

[NEEDSPEED]

From what ive heard at my local hobby shop stock runs about 35 to 38mph.

[MAXXIMUM CRIP]

Yeah, I would say she's good for for at least 35mph after break in and proper tuning. Add a tuned pipe, header and wheel bearings and you'll by going near 40mph!

[Treble]

If your talking electric then it runs about 20mph, it think that was it.

------------------
Traxxas.. Race It!!!

[littlebassett]

A well tuned n pede like my own will go about 45mph to 50mph.......

hey littlebassett,i dont think you know
any thing about speed.it may look like its
going 45-50,and many people will think the same,but its really not going as fast as it looks.go buy a radar gun and clock it, then you will see what im saying.a stock stampede will only top out at 31 mph.it looks alot faster but its not.sorry,nothing against you.

[N.stampedeJustin]

mine does about 45mph after break in

Sorry to say this but a STOCK stampede will run 32-35 m.p.h. and only on a long straightaway it will hit about 35.

2 MUCH POWER?? NO SUCH THING !!!!

[duck]

according to rc car action in my latest article, stock BROKEN IN it does 29 tops...

and another engine isn't gonna make yours magically do 50+

that is all http://www.traxxas.com/ubb/biggrin.gif

were to get a radar gun from and how much for it.

[43CheeriosDodgefan]

well my n-pede will be a 70mph speed demon when im done with it if i dont break it first. i am currently working on a 3 speed tranny. 1st gear will be:22 tooth clutch gear, 72tooth spur; 2nd gear: 24 tooth clutch, 54 tooth spur;3rd gear: 30 tooth clutch, 45 tooth spur. the only problems i think i might have is the steering servo is kinda twitchy with the stock servo saver, which isnt a good thing for 70mph speeds. another problem area will be getting all the gears to contact in the right area so im thinking of using gears that have a small indent on the sides so you you use belts/chains to connect the spur gears to the clutch gears. i know this sounds unbelievable but when i am done i will have it clocked and i will most likely make an mpeg movie of the run if i can find somebody that has a digital camcorder.another thing that might be wise is to make the chasis lower, while still keeping good ground clearance. i will send pictures of my 2-speed that i have on my truck when i get all the kinks worked out. i would of had it done sooner if i didnt send my parts back to tower hobbies thinking they werent going to work but i found somebody that works in a machine shop and will machine parts for free; all i have to pay for is the metal. you may not beleive a 70 mph n-pede right now but when you see the finished product of what im doing you will beleive it. i do not recommend trying this on your truck unless you can risk a 70mph crash which would undoubtedly destroy your truck. it should be a cool truck when im done.

thanks for helping me prove my point i was
trying to make.some people have no sense of speed.
people just hear something and it sticks in their head and they believe it,if you dont believe me,get a radar gun and check hahahahahahhahahahahhahahahahahahahahah

[nitro stampede]

you can get a radar gun,at www.towerhobbies.com (http://www.towerhobbies.com) ,i think.also,a 70 mph pede ,yeah right.you would have to put a .21
engine,54 spur,22 clutch bell,and maybe you could hit 50,if your lucky.think about it,
the 100mph super nitro rs4 had a novarossi and they said it costed 4,500 dollars,and you think your going to ,make a pede that will
go 70 for a few hundred.DREAM ON>dude

[Exhaust Leak]

The most accurate way to determine the speed of your vehicle is mathematically. Radar guns will vary in accuracy. Here is how:

First you need to measure off a very accurate 100 foot distance and mark it at both ends.
Get a stop watch and a buddy to time your run.
Get your car up to full speed and then time how long it takes to travel the full 100 feet from mark to mark.
Make a lot of runs and take your best time.
Divide 68.18 by your best time to get MPH.

Example --- 1.5 seconds is your best time. 68.18 divided by 1.5 = 45.5 MPH

Have fun! http://www.traxxas.com/ubb/wink.gif

well i did forget to mention what engine ill be running. it will either be an Ofna Delta force p8 2.6 hp motor or an 8 port megatech engine which they rate at 3.0 hp. and if you read my entire post you would see what gears i will be running which would theoretically give me a speed of over 70mph. like i said youll see the pics when i get them. the hpi proceed will do 70mph and costs under 800$ to complete. a n-pede might be a little harder to get to those speeds but i will do it. it wont be much of a nitro pede when im done but it should resemble a n-pede.i am working on a 2 speed duratrax tranny; the 3 speed will follow. i have already tested my n-pede with the 100 foot test and it completed it in 3.3 seconds. this was from a standing start, at full speed entering and leaving the 100 feet it took 1.62 seconds. using the formula, that would translate into 42.08642 mph or 42.1 mph. this is with a n-pede with bearings, mip stinger kit, mip boost bottle, and motor savers air filter, 22 tooth clutch 66 tooth spur. i might of been able to get an even higher speed if my trx pro-15 were freshly broken in, it has 2 gallons run through it in race conditions. i have heard that the trx pro tops out at 32000 rpm, the ofna engine will exceed 35000 rpm. if you still question me about it being possible just wait and i will have pics of me clocking my n-pede at 70+mph when i finish my truck. it is a work in progress, i keep adding more stuff when i get the money.stay tuned

i dont know really how fast they go, but i can barely keep mine on the ground. It goes so fast that the smallest bump sends it flying. FUN

[FORD_DragRacer141]

hey 43cheeriosdodgefan, don't go with the megatech engine. Everybody says they suck really bad. My friend used to have one and he said it was the ****piest engine ever
